Excerpted from AgereDSP.txt output of scanModem
The martian_modem provides higher level COMM functions and MUST be
running throughout a dialout session. The modem port is in the
dynamically created
/dev/pts/N
family, with symbolic link creatd by the martian_modem
/dev/ttySM0 -->/dev/pts/N
Usage of these ports requires that a line:
Carrier Check = no
be added to the configuration file /etc/wvdial.conf
See the file wvdial.txt for details on this usage.
For martian concept details see: http://martian.barrelsoutofbond.org
Loading of the martian_drv can be automated by adding to /etc/modules
a line:
martian_drv
To automate martian_modem action upon martian_dev loading,
the following SINGLE line can be added to one of the files /etc/modprobe*
or to a new file /etc/modprobe.d/martian
install martian_dev modprobe --ignore-install martian_dev ;
/usr/sbin/martian_modem
If both automation steps are implemented:
wvdial
should get you on line, if /dev/ttySM0 is specified as the port in
/etc/wvdial.conf
